Avatar f tn The values you cite are quite abnormal, including the RDW (red blood cell distribution width), that is a measure of the variation in size of your red blood cells. A high RDW indicates that the red blood cells are more variable in volume than normal. You are definitely anemic and the elevated RDW is consistent with an iron deficiency anemia, possibly of recent onset.

So you could go to get a random blood draw and it could be high without symptoms. the RDW is normal and is often raised when you have a variety of odd shaped cells such as during anemia. So since yours is Not raised you are okay.
